Section 2 – Partitioning and Panel Linking

2-5

Users 001-050 are the only users that can perform panel linking and are automatically assigned panel
linking access when added to the system.
An alpha keypad must be used for panel linking.
The system may take up to 7 seconds to respond to a command when in a panel linking mode

NOTE:

A user cannot access partitions or panels to which they have not been assigned.

Panel Link Module Supervision

The Panel Link Module can be supervised for its connection to the control panel. The module’s supervisory zone is zone
8xx, where “xx” = the ECP address of the PLM. You must program that zone with response type 05 (Day/Night) in

Zone

Programming

in the

#93 Menu Mode

(refer to the

Programming Guide

for detailed programming instructions). If you

want to report the supervisory failure to the central station and/or to a paging service, the appropriate reporting
parameters for that zone must be programmed.

If you want the supervisory failure of PLM(s) on other linked control panels to display on this control panel, they must
be programmed into

Zone Programming

in the

#93 Menu Mode

with response type 14 in this control panel (refer to the

Programming Guide

for detailed programming instructions). The panel ID number for each module must match the

panel ID number programmed in

Device Programming

of its “host” VISTA-120.
